| Your thoughts on preamp/processors It is possible to add delay to switching the input in Harmony's software; poke around and you'll find the option eventually. | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Bluray/HD-DVD , does one or more of these new HD audios get associated with a particular video type or are they universal ? Both support Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD lossless. They each have different requirements on how the players handle them though ... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? My guess is that they were talking about the Toslink / Coax out, not the 6 channel discrete output.6 channel discrete output will pass the lossless audio encoded on some Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs; because of bandwidth issues, Toslink and Coax can o... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? I'm not sure I follow what you're hearing from these engineer-types. The 6-channel discrete out should be just as lossless as the HDMI, with the only difference being that it's being done at the player instead of the processor (after being transco... | |
| HDMI to DVI adapter? Here's a good explanation of how these colorspace issues crop up when going HDMI -> DVI:http://archive2.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-486428.html | |
| HDMI to DVI adapter? Rreckstad, Sorry I missed your reply.Changing the output resolution didn't seem to help the issue. My understanding is that the Denon 1920 that I use has only outputs at the extended colorspace supported by HDMI, and doesn't support DVI's slightly... | |
| HDMI to DVI adapter? The only issue you might run into is color space. DVI has a slightly smaller color space than HDMI, so with certain combinations of players and TV's you might run into black level clipping issues (it'll appear as black blocks during dark parts of ... | |
| dvd audio any good disc out there The Doors "Perception" boxed set, and the Talking Heads "Brick" boxed set should both be available at any local BB or CC, and are both fantastic.Beyond that, there's lots of good stuff available - though a lot of it (The Who's Tommy, Beck Sea Chan... | |
| Just Curious...... They're still doing some pretty interesting things, particularly in mobile audio. Their DVD touchscreen navigation head units are considered to be among the best on the market, and they make a portable digital audio player that's genuinely probabl... | |
| Wireless and USB dacs I think you're confused.I believe the USB on your Bel Canto is an input. You can hook a computer up to the Bel Canto and use it to output audio from your computer.You can't use it to send a digital audio signal elsewhere. | |
| HD ready madness Agreed with others, you don't really need it. And you won't be able to find it anyway - the DVD spec forbids players from outputting an upscaled signal using anything other than VGA, DVI, or HDMI. If your TV lacks those inputs, then just spend the... | |
| Arcam Alpha 9 phono stage question Thanks guys.I ordered the phono board yesterday and look forward to hearing it (and getting rid of another component - consolidation is good!) | |
| HDMI to DVI Cable I should mention that it might not be a problem depending on how DVI-friendly your source device is. Some of them have a "DVI" mode where it switches the color palette to match that of DVI. It just happens that my Denon universal player has no suc... | |
| HDMI to DVI Cable If your display device is the one with the DVI input (i.e. you are going from an HDMI source to a DVI display) you may run into color space issues. I had this problem with my plasma using an upscaling DVD player.Basically, HDMI has just a tiny bit... | |
| Will an anti-jitter / upsampling device pass AC3? See, I was hoping it would *not* pass the 5.1 stream. Currently because of the crosstalk I have to turn the DAC off while watching movies since the 5.1 stream makes the DAC freak out.Sean's tip is a good idea, I'll try moving the inputs around but... |
